& the Most important is....
The TRIP was totally FREE!
Not just FREE! In fact, I gained extra money from the trip!
The most important question is...
HOW to make the trip totally free of charge!!!
( just bear with me through the whole journey of this trip as I revealed the secrets of the entire journey)

Photo 3: Buddish prayer wheels
(A prayer wheel is a cylindrical wheel on a spindle made from metal, wood, stone, leather or coarse cotton. Traditionally, the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum written in Sanskrit on the outside of the wheel.
At the core of the cylinder is a "Life Tree" often made of wood or
metal with certain mantras written on or wrapped around it. Many
thousands of mantras
are then wrapped around this life tree. According to the Tibetan Buddhist
tradition based on the lineage texts regarding prayer wheels, spinning
such a wheel will have much the same meritorious effect as orally reciting the prayers.)

Photo 5: 3 Idiots
Have you watched 3 Idiots? ( what is 3 Idiots?)
This movie was about friendship of 3 peoples , Farhan, Raju and Rancho!
Farhan (Madhavan) and Raju (Sharman)
who on getting a clue on the
whereabouts of their college
friend, Rancho (Aamir), start
a quest to find him. Rancho
in his college days was an exceptional,
but curious kid, who questions the way education
has been taught. His two best friends Farhan
and Raju follow his ideals half-heartedly,
only to come under the bad books of the
dean Viru Sahastrabudhhe (Boman Irani).
To everyone’s amazement, amidst his
crankiness and naughty college mischief,
Rancho always comes first in his exams.
His exemplary friendship, love and naughtiness
make him a hero amongst his friends and
also to the daughter of Viru Sahastrabudhhe,
Pia (Kareena Kapoor). Rancho helps his friends
to achieve what they dream of, but disappears
mysteriously after getting his degree. Why
does Rancho run away? What’s behind
the mystery? Will Pia get Rancho? Will the
two idiots find the third? Find out in Youtube or Daily motion if you are lucky! if Not, Go to the nearest video shop and get a copy of this VCD? DVD?
The movie is a joyful ride from start to finish with the pace tilting downwards only in the middle of the second half. Few good twists and the non-linear style of storytelling help the proceedings in a big way too. But Rajkumar Hirani borrows most of his jokes from the net and also does go filmy in a few scenes like the Sharman interview sequence or Aamir crying for every little thing that his friend does, or the scene where Mona Singh is having a baby and the scene after that. But scenes like the speech by Omi for teacher’s day, or the first time Rancho visits Raju’s house or Mona singh’s marriage, helps in bringing down the entire theatre with laughter. Every single person behind the camera has enjoyed what they have done and that shows clearly in the final product.
Initially, getting to believe Madhavan or Aamir as college students might be quite tough, but as the screenplay moves, we just start enjoying the movie and their acting. Aamir Khan is spectacular as Rancho and age aside, we can’t think of a better Rancho after seeing the movie. Madhavan might not be looking as a college student but he brings a new dimension to his acting repertoire - a brilliant act. Sharman shows his excellence in a role which seems to be written for him. Kareena looks cute and does her role with equal cuteness. Boman Irani is brilliant, but what’s new in it? Mona Singh is good in a small part. The actor enacting the role Omi is easily the find of the season; he is exceptional in almost all his scenes and is a riot to watch. It’s been quite a while since we saw the entire theatre clapping, laughing aloud and whistling with you.
if you wish to have a great weekend this week, why not find this movie and watch it! I had a copy...
can always borrow from me!!!! hahaha
Not to forget, some of the scenes were taken around Leh, Ladakh which is a wonderful place that I will further elaborate later!
Enjoy the movie!
to be continued...
